It's a beautiful sunny day here atop the mountains of Tennessee! We have been blessed with sunshine and a nice breeze. Yesterday was amazing. It reached 68 and stayed sunny all day. We did get some light wispy clouds later in the afternoon that set it up for a great sunset. It didn't get as cool last night as the day before. It only dropped to 50. We are looking forward to the arrival of the llamas today, who will be bringing us fresh goodies. I hope to be able to spend some time in the sun today. Of course, there are those pesky tasks of laundry and cleaning that need to be finished! I hope everyone down below gets to enjoy some wonderful sunshine today!

Gorgeous skies from sunset

I was looking forward to today's post, wondering if the lodge crew was able to feel yesterday's earthquake or not. (I suspected they probably hadn't)

Oh, speaking of fresh supplies, I think it might be time for another photo of the supply cabin contents. Must be getting skinny by now.

Allyson here. We hiked up yesterday and was on the trail during the time it happened. We did not feel it.

I would love to see Grass of Parnassus and Monks Hood (purple flower) wildflowers and saw pictures of some from last weekend up on LeConte at the Lodge. I was just wondering if the Monks Hood is still blooming? I'm planning on hiking up Alum to the Lodge this Saturday...but only if the Monks Hood is still blooming. Thanks so much for any info you can provide! :)
